bush. the secret service tells us it's investigating the bush hacks. but guccifer could make that a challenge. it looks like the hacker took pains to cover his tracks. instead of forwarding the hacked e-mails and attachments directly to journalists and others that would have looked like this he recreated them copying and pasting text into new e-mails. this one posted by smoking gun shows that he put the text into a pink background with a casual font style that looks like a written note. experts say he did this to make it harder for investigators to find mededata that could be traced back to him. we couldn't get comment from hillary clinton or any representative of the bush family or from former secretary of state colin powell though he did confirm his facebook and e-mail accounts were hacked. >> often the demographics of an individual like this are male, young, highly intelligent, and the fact that they are getting recognition for their success continues to fuel them. >> based on its correspondence with him, smoking gun says guccifer subscribes to cons

but one person that i spoke with from the bush 43 administration thought this price tag was high. also he conceded there are a lot of factors that drive up the cost. like empty rooms for security, and the hotel, of course, may require a compensation for displacing guests. e vice president's office referred us to the state department on this. the state department is saying, these costs are nothing out of the ordinary. they say the contract costs cover the entire range of support, including accommodations for military communications, secret service staff, and other support. security experts are also required to travel in advance of the president or vice president, safety and security are not negotiable. i will tell you, one government watchdog group we spoke with said they had never seen documents detailing travel costs like these for a vice president, or a president posted before. so it kind of makes you wonder if perhaps this information wasn't put out on this website accidently. >> was it put out accidently? what do you think? >> i don't know, but i did a search for the last 365

and, yet, president bush seems to have madethinking, yet president bush seems to have made up his mind some time earlier, probably very early, something we were talking about from the beginning of the bush administration, at the beginning of 2001. >> you were among the team that wrote -- helped write the speech, the 2002 bush state of the union address with this very, very memorable passage. listen. >> this is a regime that agreed to international inspections, then kicked out the inspectors. this is a regime that has something to hide from the civilized world. states like these and their terrorist allies constitute an access of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world. >> you say that the speech marked sort of a point of no return as far as the war was concerned. >> i wouldn't say point of no return, but a real milestone. here's what i think in that speech really stands up to the light of history. back when president bush spoke those words in 2002, it was considered quite shocking and bizarre to think there might be cooperation between hamas and iran. back then the conventional
